I was super excited to try this place but unfortunately the reviews and pictures are certainly misleading. When we got there we were the only ones in line, tried to order and they had only two food items available. So we chose the breakfast Cuban which was borderline disgusting. It's ICE COLD lunch meat with a lukewarm sausage patty, barely warm eggs, warm bread, melted cheese and mayo.. The difference in temperatures was repulsive. We ordered two cheese danishes which I was super stoked to try but they were stale. A sandwich, 2 danishes was $17?? I'm sorry but there's trash and straw wrappers everywhere and no one seems to care. Not worth it although the location is cute.

I would recommend this place, but there were a few problems. The cold brew coffee was sour. The staff was mostly pleasant but seemed a little annoyed that they had to take orders and work. When there were no customers, they could have at least swept off some of the leaves from the furniture or wiped the trash can instead of playing on their phones. And I wish the place was further from the road; a very bad sewer smelled rolled in while we were eating. Also, the menu is limited and no room for special orders; they didn't have avocado. It is kind of like a food truck. Otherwise, the cafe con leche, blueberry muffin, and Cuban sandwiches were good.

The coffee and the breakfast cuban I ordered were great. The service was quick, especially considering how busy they were. All outdoor seating but comfortable and well spread out.

Cute outdoor coffee spot with lots of seating. Our coffee was good and the breakfast sandwiches were delicious. Staff was super friendly and service was quick. We will be back!

A very good outdoor coffee shop with a laid back vibe. Definitely a welcome alternative to Starbucks. Good place to meet up with a friend or two or just sit and relax by yourself.

Very cute place! Cuban Breakfast sandwich was delicious and the banana crunch muffin was also great! Will come back again. ?

Very mixed feelings on this location. Love the ambiance of the place and came here several times to drink and eat in the past and introduced to friends as this is the only nice cafe that isn't a franchise in the area. However I took family here today who is from out of town and I couldn't finish my sandwich (which I figured was just me) due to nauseousness and we noticed it didn't look very fresh.. maybe because we were there at 2 pm, my cousin is now sick and vomiting.My sister also didn't agree with her coffee. Not sure what it was, maybe the egg in both of our sandwiches, or the milk in the coffee as we all didn't like very much this time around but I am scared to recommend or bring someone here again.

WOW. I can’t say enough good things. First of all, it was a beautiful day when I stopped by, which makes everyone in a great mood. It was my first time in, as soon as I walked up I was greeted by the friendly baristas who provided me with a menu. When I said I hadn’t been here before but was a little picky about syrups, the male barista with glasses was super kind and explained where their syrups were from and also explained their specialty syrups. The oat milk was a great option because I’m plant based. I ordered a large latte with oat milk and the honey rose syrup. I had HIGH expectations because this place is really cute. Took one sip and went to heaven. Move over Starbucks because this coffee blew my mind. It reminded me of a coffee I used to get back home in Delaware at a niche shop. So thick and creamy and tasted great. I will definitely be back, with friends, and a smile. Love this place so much!!!!!!

Trying to like this place, Love the location and setup. way overpriced for the quality. 3 times that I’ve ordered lattes the espresso tasted re-used/watery and the milk temp was way too cold. 2 out of 3 times that I’ve ordered a sandwich it’s made me sick, (which is what prompted me to write this review - currently regretting having eaten one a few hours ago). I always tip well and the service is still painfully slow. I used to work at a coffee shop and I know everyone has their bad days so I’ve given it multiple chances, but keep being disappointed!

Always fantastic coffee. The people who work here are really nice too. They will seem to like their job. The sandwiches are just ok, but the baked goods tend to be good.
